Abstract
The reaction of chromium aryl(alkoxy)carbenes with propargylic alcohols has been investigated under dry state adsorption and ultrasound conditions. Wh en compared to the corresponding thermal processes, the developed sonicatio n reactions afford good yields of p-lactone products over generally shorter reaction times. hy state adsorption affords diene products which are also obtained from the corresponding p-lactones.
